Waypoint flags clutter my GPS screen

Former Member over 14 years ago

Is there a way in basecamp to change the waypoint flags to something smaller? They are rather large and clutter up my route when viewing on my GPSmap62st. Thanks for any suggestions from you experts out there, Thomas

I believe this is the similar, if not the same as wishlist item #2 by @PROUD.PAPA in this thread.

Try out the suggestion in that thread and let us know if that worked for you.

I know my blue flag issue is only regarding waypoints and tracks, but here is my discussion with Garmin:

Hello Ric,

Yes, when the waypoints are transferred with BaseCamp to the device, the waypoint symbols show on the device with the same symbols as long as custom waypoint symbols are not used in BaseCamp.

How about while using any other map program? BaseCamp?

Hello Ric,

I'm sorry, waypoint symbols will not transfer when waypoints are imported to the device from MapSource.

I have a GPD file (Waypoints and 9 Tracks) to load to my unit via Mapsource. Of the 644 waypoint symbols I have 1 green flag, 1 red flag, 3 blue flags, and the remaining waypoints are small black dots. However when I load the GPD to the unit, all waypoints end up with blue flags. Is there any way to have the waypoint symbols on the unit, just as I have them in Mapsource? Device: GPSMAP® 76Cx
